Arthur Braverman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Braverman is an American born author and translator of works from Japanese to English. A Zen Buddhist practitioner who lived in Japan for seven years and studied at Antai-ji temple in 1969 training under Kosho Uchiyama. Zen practice with Kosho Uchiyama was not what Braverman expected, which in his mind would entail much dialogue and "special experience". Instead, it was essentially many hours of intense zazen practice. Uchiyama wasn't one for words, and was even less interested in formality and ritual. Much of this experience has been recorded in Braverman's book, Living and Dying in Zazen (Weatherhill, 2003).
